Notice to Patrons

As you may be aware, the Library experienced an attack on its network that resulted in the encryption of several of our computers. We have been working diligently to restore public services. WiFi is now available, as is our website and program registration. We are still working to restore public computers. The Library is open, programs are happening and our staff is available to assist you. Thank you for your patience. Please check back for updates.

Need WiFi? Borrow A Hotspot!

If you don't have wireless Internet in your home or if you are traveling someplace that will not have WiFi, you can borrow a portable hotspot that will help you get or stay connected. The mobile hotspot loan period is 21 days, and it can be renewed one time, as long as no other patrons have placed a reserve. The overdue fine is $5 per day.
